I will start with changing what I can, until I can exercise correctly. I am cutting out ginger ale (yes, I started drinking soda again, wtf was I thinking???) and cutting back on my portions. I'm going to check out the biggest loser things you've mentioned so I can make healthier food.

I'm cheering you on, Candace.

this is so smart! cutting out soda is a great idea. i went from pepsi to diet pepsi fairly easily BUT i ended up craving the diet stuff like crazy! i dont know if something in the recipe is addicting but i couldnt resist it for the longest time. i was drinking 6 to 10 of them a day by the time i decided to cut them from my diet. only thing was, after i gave it up i was always seriously jonesing for carbonation!

i probably drink my weight in club soda now! dont know why it holds such an appeal or me.
